Perseverance and dedication are defining characteristics of Pennsylvanians. I am incredibly proud of the Tamaqua football and Penn State Schuylkill women's cross-country teams for these accomplishments. And always, I am very honored to represent the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Ninth Congressional District. ____________________”
